Check out this unit xml editor i whuped up. It is pretty simple and easy to use. It is made in .net 05 so you will need ms framework 2.0 if you don't have it.

-Sean

PS made it using the latest patch, not sure how it runs on anything older then 1.6

*** I posted a new version which should fix those crashes. They were from comments in the xml files. Also I made loading mods a bit faster instead of having to type out the name.

:( not working for me
get this error:

hi

the editor looks very good -but when i choose a unit to edit - it gives an error

very nice so far-
a couple of suggestions/bugs, though:

*If you change the unitclass of a unit and save changes, you have to reload the mod before editing the unit
*It would be nice to have the option to delete a unit
*Currently you can only have one model/unit, it would be great to have more than one (like in the settler)
*(edit) Also, when you change a unitclass, it leaves the old unitclass in the xml file. For example, I made a unit based on the archer called "Wood Elf Archer" and its default class was WOOD_ELF_ARCHER. Then, I changed its class to "ARCHER" so that it was a UU, and saved. When I checked the Class xml file, the WOOD_ELF_ARCHER class was still there.

Great job! I'm looking forward to future releases!

Hrmm, I was half-heartedly working on a very similar tool, maye I should stop... :/

this editor needs more work, but it would be great to see it finished soon. i plan on rewriting my revolution scenario from ground up after warlords, and this would save me hours of time.

Please dont give up on this one!

loads fine but when i need to edit a mod i get errors whats the deal?

Jill: ****, it's broken!

wow, great idea, well implemented. The only thing I'd request so far is that where the irequired for the artdefine tag displaying the units, some of us like to put officers in front of our units, which requires an extra irequired and artdefines area. So if you update this anymore, would you please consider adding at least one more area to add the extra irequired and artdefines unit.

Also, besides the extra space to add more than one type of unit to a formation, will you please add an fscale editor as well. This changes unit height, it's located in artdefines I believe.

mine doesn't work at all - it just says "the application failed to initialise properly (0zx0000135)". I have the latest patch, so what's going on?

Do you have .Net Framework 2.0 installed?

This has been working well for the mod Im working on. There seems to be one bug I havent been able to figure out with it though. It seems to sometimes (cant figure out what triggers it) add the primary resource needed to the secondary resource needed list. This causes the game to crash before it loads without giving any info (info you can understand :crazyeye:) as to why it crashed, took me a long time to figure out what was causing it.

Also something that would be nice is under the requirements tab, to make the building requirement a checkbox format instead of drop down list so you can add more than one.

Nice tool :)

I can not use it for Warlords, filling in the warlords folder showes nothing...

And it is not remembering the folder I write in because my game is in an other folder - can u fix that?

For editing MODs it wrote some problems - not possible to use it for Mods?

thanx

The creator has made 1 post ever almost a year ago. I don't think this has plans to work with Warlords or to be updated at all.

I lol at my past self's Resident Evil reference

Not to worry I will release a Warlords compatible version of the Civilizeditor, here is the link to the thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=193830

You're the best TL. :pat:

I just downloaded this and tried to make it work with Warlords. At first I got some error messages about the program not being able to find the correct text files, but I figured out that was because the xml files in Warlords have filenames with "Warlords" in it. I just copied over the original CivIV files, and the program loaded no problem.
By adding "Warlords\" to the existing directory name in the box on the top left, I was able to look through, find and edit all my Warlords mods. Haven't tried playing any of the changes yet, but so far it looks good. Much easier than editing the XML by hand, though no editor should really take away having to look through thousands of lines of code. That patience is what makes modders modders! :)

TheLopez - How is the Civilizeditor for Warlords coming?

@TheLopez - When the Civilizeditor for Warlords will be ready to download? Are you still working on it?
Maybe in fifteen days, or a month, how long, could you please give us a hint when it will be released?
Sorry to ask so much, but I'm anxious to use it.Thanks very much.

Still his last post. Miss that guy TheLopez!
